THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, England, Sept. 13, 1856
* Big Ben - Great Bell
* Palace of Westminster
Certainly the most noteworthy print is that of what we know as the original "Big Ben", the largest of the bells in the Westminster clock tower. Although technically Big Ben is just the bell, the name is often used for the iconic clock tower.
This bell would crack before being mounted in the clock tower requiring another to be cast two years later.
Other prints include: "The American Steamship Arctic", the emperor and empress of Russia, "Gloucester Cathedral", a state carriage, and more.
Complete in 24 pages, nice condition.
